Chapter 577 The Underestimated Blaney
Blaney was like a ghost in the jungle, carefully searching for opportunities to fight in a complex environment.
As she quietly sneaked, she approached an assassin in a shadowy state. In this tense moment, both parties noticed each other's presence almost at the same time.
The assassin was indeed a well-trained killer. The moment he was discovered, he used his unique skills to instantly disappear from the spot.
It was as if he had never appeared there, leaving only a slightly fluctuating air, indicating that he had just left.
But Bryony was no ordinary person. With her rich combat experience and sharp intuition, she did not hesitate to instantly send a wind blade to the left, drawing a sharp arc in the air.
The instantaneous casting of wind blades requires extremely high magic control ability and extremely fast reaction speed. The fact that Blaney can do this is enough to prove her profound attainments in wind magic.
This time, her premonition was extremely accurate, and the wind blade shot accurately in the direction where the assassin disappeared, making it a successful attack.
Afterwards, Blainey didn't pause at all, as if everything was going according to her plan.
A scroll suddenly appeared in her hand, and it emitted a mysterious magical wave. She threw it vigorously, and the scroll flew rapidly towards the general area where the assassin was.
In an instant, a ground spike technique with a diameter of about ten meters was triggered. Countless sharp ground spikes suddenly emerged from the ground, like the fangs of a demon breaking out of the ground, stabbing at the assassin who was just about to get up at an extremely fast speed.
The assassin had no time to make an effective evasive move and was instantly pierced by several holes in the ground by the spikes.
The assassin let out a miserable cry, and the sound echoed in the silent jungle, full of pain and despair.
As he screamed, the ground that was damaged by the spikes gradually returned to calm, leaving only the assassin lying on the ground, bleeding and dying.
After seeing that she succeeded, Blainey did not continue to attack. In her judgment, this person was already seriously injured and had lost the ability to fight. Keeping him might help to see if there would be new opportunities to fight later.
For example, his companions may come to rescue, which may attract more enemies and create more attack opportunities for his side.
The assassin's wailing echoed far in the jungle and soon attracted two shadow priests.
After the two shadow priests arrived, they just took a look at the seriously injured assassin on the ground and reacted quickly.
One of them immediately became alert. His eyes were like those of a sharp eagle, scanning the surroundings for all movements, wary of possible attacks from any direction.
The other man took out a sharp dagger without hesitation and ended his companion's suffering cleanly without any extra words.
This cold-blooded and decisive behavior shows that they have strict combat discipline and rational judgment of the situation.
Afterwards, the two men looked in the direction where Blaney was hiding. Their eyes seemed to contain a power of insight, as if they already knew Blaney was there.
This made Blainey feel a little scared. She realized that the other party might have predicted her position and seemed to know her intentions very well, so he was determined not to give her any chance.
The existence of such an opponent is extremely dangerous. If he is not experienced in many battles and possesses extraordinary combat and psychological qualities, it is impossible for him to make such a move.
Judging from his level, Blaney is about the beginner-mid level, relying entirely on the mobility granted by the wind system to fight, and cannot compare with anyone else in the forest.
With an Eight-Point Staff that can only use 10% of its power, the only magic that can be triggered at the moment is Wind Entanglement. Blaney is also challenging himself.
No matter how high the academic level is, it has little to do with actual combat. Blaney is used to such tragedies and will never allow himself to have an inflated level of magic skills. He will actively participate in actual combat.
At this time, the leader quietly appeared behind Blaney, and Blaney subconsciously discovered that the wind blade was broken by the leader's casual water arrow.
Only then did Blainey see clearly: "I'm sorry, Leader..."
"Why didn't you obey orders and acted on your own? None of the more than 40 people in the Beast Taming Department have the ability to fight at night or in the jungle, and you certainly can't do it either. I told you not to act rashly, but you..."
"Leader, I have killed several people, why can't I do this? It's just that you don't know me, isn't this a good thing?"
"Fortunately, I came to see who is killing the enemy. Okay, follow me and don't walk around!"
"I am a leader."
After that, a water curtain barrier enveloped Blaney! This can be regarded as the care given by the leader.
Unexpectedly, Blaney dispelled it with one move: "Thank you, leader. I pursue extreme speed. The barrier hinders movement and is not suitable for me!"
The leader did not force it, and with his owl perspective, he slowly approached the group of shadow priests who were searching in this direction.
In fact, Bryony also discovered them. At this moment, he switched to three other staffs. They were all full of energy and could release magic at any time.
He hung his staffs on the buckle at his waist, ready to attack at any time, and slowly crawled forward on the left side of the leader.
The leader knew at a glance that she was going to focus her fire on them, and smiled knowingly: "I'll go and attract their attention. When you find an opportunity, use your staff to cast magic. Don't worry about me."
"No, the hurricane is too powerful. Leader, please hide. If I go over like this, they won't be able to see me. Trust me."
The leader had sensed Brainy and found that her magic fluctuations were indeed very low. He also knew that the little girl had had many adventures and apart from her low affinity for innate magical elements, she had basically no flaws.
He spent a lot of time reading and doing business, and did not participate in regular training to enhance elemental power. He had taken holy medicine for element purification, and his foundation was very good. However, practice was a long process and could not be achieved overnight.
So the leader adopted the suggestion, hid himself, and let Blaney try. He kept the lava shield scroll in his hand, ready to use the clone technique to save Blaney at any time.
At this time, five shadow priests came over and said, "I always feel that the bad guys are nearby. Damn it, they are sneaky and dare not fight us head-on. It's very annoying..."
"My intuition is right, it's right here. No need to move forward. I'll try my mosquito repellent technique. Everyone, be alert."
In fact, Bryony was lying in the bushes. She could hear their voices and only hoped that they would move another ten meters so that she could launch a surprise attack. However, they refused to move, which made her quite annoyed.
Then a large number of mosquitoes attacked Blaney. This was obviously a rare skill of the shadow priest. Blaney could only waste a staff and cast a huge hurricane to blow away these annoying mosquitoes.
The five shadow priests hid quickly like cunning rabbits, thinking to themselves: "Sure enough, with such a powerful hurricane, the opponent's strength must not be underestimated! Now that the enemy has been exposed, we must fight it out this time..."
"Peck, wait a minute..."
However, before a shadow priest finished his words, he disappeared like a ghost. Everyone could only pray silently and ask for God's protection.
The shadow priest named Peck rushed towards Blaney like a wisp of smoke.
